23. Return of the Living Dead (1985) Monster Madness 2009 Review

[knightmare8642]

I saw it. :< I didn't like eet. I mean, I just wanted the gross zombies to die!! D:

[XGEARSX347]

My dad thinks it funny

[Skulldini]

Creepshow ( another Romero flick incidently ) came before this flick and I believe the TALKING aspect was more derived from IT ( remember "I want my cake" ? ). And ROTTED zombies first appeared in the Spanish horror film 'Tombs of the Blinde Dead .

[MrRoyalnash]

emos suck

[MrRoyalnash]

this is my fave zombie movie too

[CDixon2098]

Love your narration!

[cavad]

the zombie are broken here

[locsaretheshit]

This is the best zombie movie I've ever seen. 

[Tirseau]

I found this movie hilarious.

[deonmovie]

im looking at the movie right now :D

[Zakscary99]

I was watching this yesterday and 2 Halloweens ago

[julzzville21]

Zombies: BRAINS!!!

Plants: FIRE AT WILL!!!

[Zakscary99]

@julzzville21 Plants Vs. Zombies?

[camerabox1]

@julzzville21 love that game

[Alaska1925]

just watched the movie. it was a good one, but I'm not a fun of running/talking/thinking zombies. man, the romero ones usually are still intact, but due to the fact they're dead, their bodies aren't what they used to be, so they're slow and stupid (left aside Bub, he was great). but most of THESE zombies are decomposed, some of 'em don't even have flesh left... so how the fuck can they run so fast, talk so well, or even think, if they have no brain? I don't know, but who cares, the movie's great

[Johnlindsey289]

@Alaska1925

What do you think of vampires that don't burn in the sunlight?

[Alaska1925]

@Johnlindsey289 well, I would be disappointed. I mean, the vampire is a night creature, it was established that a vampire will burn and turn to ash if exposed to sunlight. are you refering to the twilight movies? hahaha, well, I think that you hate those movies just like I do, they totally destroyed the model of vampire, SHAME ON THEM. but I watched the Blade movies, those are real vampires, not fuckin' edward cullen "look my skin shines like a diamond". period.

[Johnlindsey289]

@Alaska1925

Forget that crap you see in films, there are many vampire legends that are different than those movies you see as there are vampires who drains energy instead of blood, some from outer space instead of the undead, some vampires that don't burn in the sunlight like Egyptian vampires like in The Hunger, some Asian vampires turn invisible when exposed to sunlight. They challenge the vampire stereotype and some movies use unconventional vampires.

[Alaska1925]

@Johnlindsey289 yeah, I guess it's right to try something new, and not be always defined by the stereotypes.

[Alaska1925]

SEND. MORE. PARAMEDICS.

[mongolianape]

im not a zombie nut in total,more of a trainee just in case a sudden apocalypse happens around/before/after 2012

[FALLENSK8ER1995]

this movie is so creepy when your baked

[georgeyboyboy]

honestly watch 100 zombie flicks and less than 10 will involve brain eating

all i ever see is organs and flesh being torn

the whole brain thing is mainly based around some old jokes about zombie stupidity

and the fact they need to have their brain destroyed

[Shrader01]

This movie was one of two that scared the shit out of me growing up. Actually it was one zombie in particular. That melted motherfucker from the opening scene. :Shudder: Pair this along with that little brown motherfucker from triology of terror and that was my worst nightmare as a kid. I still tuck my sheet under my feet to keep that little bastard from creeping up my shit while i'm sleeping.

[demonjack123]

@Shrader01 lol

[demonjack123]

@Shrader01 lol

[peacocksandwhich]

You mean the movie lied!!!!!!!!

[Leatherbubba]

It's not a bad question, Bert.

[scottieman2]

Have you seen Night of the Living Dead?

[ItsTwistyBro]

This is one of my favorite zombie movies

[IamSnoogans]

This movie was kick-ass!

[IamSnoogans]

This movie was kick-ass!

[IamSnoogans]

This movie was kick-ass!

[Ithirid]

send

more

paramedics

........and

pizza :D

[bestintheworld90]

1:50 zombie looks like a little kiddy show

[dHeavyEchob]

this was my fav zombie movie saw dawn of the dead ( the original not the bad remake) just imagine if these zombies were in L4D

[Tairaa91]

@dHeavyEchob the survivors would probably not have made it too long lol

[MagicalWafflesOfLove]

@misterprickly This was a great movie. The zombies not being able to die added alot of stress and made you think another way of the zombies. Not just think oh yeah shoot him in the head but instead it added fear to the zombies. Also the zombies being able to talk and run and eat brains was just to add some cheese to the entire thing. And dont get mad that most people think zombies eat brains, now go back to playing nazi zombies.

[misterprickly]

There were only TWO things memorable about this crap fest... The naked chick and the song "do you wanna party?"

This film is the reason why many zombie movies fail.

-running zombies

-talking zombies

-thinking zombies

-zombies that can't ever die... Give me a fuck'in break!

[darkchia00]

@misterprickly You have to take into consideration the set up of "Everything you thought you knew about zombies were lies to cover up how they really are". That was the point of Frank's speech to Freddy at the beginning of the movie.

[scottieman2]

@misterprickly Come on, it's a great movie. Like the NOTLD was so much better. Not. That original was boring. This has suspense.

He didn't want to make 'Remero' zombie by having them walk and be easily killed. My favorite zombie.

[MrDevilsbrood1012]

the original night of the living dead scares me to freaking death even though its been 6 years since i seen the movie and it was 1 day before i went on vacation to disneyland

[GreenPliskin]

zombies that can't die even if the brain is gone.

[DCUnderdog3000]

this movie was shit compared to romero's.

[rayhs1984]

@DCUnderdog3000 this movie was just shit

[sailoramber1985]

this came out the year i was born i love old horror films!!!

[MCGRIDZ]

Naked lady in the background @ 1:03

[Xinathor]

BRAINS!!!! LIVE BRAINS!!!!!

[maxtheaxeiswax]

This movie also explains why the zombies only eat brains, because it gets rid of the pain of being dead, and whats weirder is that this was told to them by one of the zombies they captured.

[maxtheaxeiswax]

BRAAAIINNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSS.

[TheSG98]

2:33 Ewwww zombie tit 

[Dogfire45]

must See Movie

[MineetheUmbreon]

And that's where a classic zombie came from...

[BurnedToast00]

1:42 is f*ing scary xD

[pucknut11]

Lol Freddie: YOU MEAN THE MOVIE LIED?!?!

[misterprickly]

This was the film that broke all the rules and why all the Romero remakes SUCK!

It gave us running zombies, talking zombies and zombies with bad attitudes; What a mess!

[MrDavidX9696]

i dont like this movie

[dd31406]

They had to chop them up and burn em

[Rutagher]

i saw this movie when i was 4 and i've had about one zombie nightmare every two weeks ever since. if you have to have a phobia (also a fascination), a fear of something that doesn't exist is probably the ideal candidate

[Awesomewafflesgames]

What's the song at the end

[multitudeofidols]

@Awesomewafflesgames "Party Time" by 45 Grave.

[N75911]

@timetakesawhile "Come in dispatch! send... more.. paramedics"

[SCAREDmotherFUCKER]

boom headshot!!!! 1:45

[alejandroxxv]

Impossible to kill? You should try plants...

[damadman228]

BRAINS! *BAM* awesome :D

[Scifiiguy]

@SCAREDmotherFUCKER that's because it was an obvious reference to this film and the Romero zombie flicks ,I mean the title Call of the dead ,ring a bell ,George Romero is even in the game.

[SCAREDmotherFUCKER]

@Scifiiguy ok

[SCAREDmotherFUCKER]

this song was from the opener from call of the dead black ops at 3:30

[BrawnX]

This was a strange, stupid movie. I liked it.

[topbluefan1]

Hit the brain, hit the brain!

I hit the fucking brain!

Classic section

[AllAboutTheInternet]

no top comments?... knows my time to shine ....

PENIS!.... that is all

[morrisbrookprod]

I got scared by tarman

[bpomatto]

@timetakesawhile seend mooore vault 101 coooopsss

[TheToecutter79]

it was actually a result of a lawsuit between Romero and John Russo, they both did night of the living dead but argued over where to take it next,and went separate ways, they came upon an agreement where Romero had taken the dead and Russo had been given the Living dead, i think we all know who did it best though

[purvicide]

I thought the talking aspect of the zombies in this film was distracting and dumb.

[TheDragongirl1]

2,28 is the best line EVER XD. "But it worked in the movie!" LOOOOOOL xDD

[KeithWasHere1]

Linniea Quigley FTW!

[NodDisciple1]

@KeithWasHere1 Suicide is a hottie. X-0

[KeithWasHere1]

ewwww zombie tits arent that pretty!

[KeithWasHere1]

i could understand a decaying or partially decayed body,but a complete skeleton reanimating...no way,,there is no connective tissues or anything there is nothing holding the skeleton together!.i think the zombie mythos ends at complete skeletons.

[KeithWasHere1]

the 3 steps to stopping a zombie

1.take their fucking head off!...go head no ones going to hold it against you swords,guns,axes, scythes,cleavers,trucks....poo­dles, hey be creative anything goes!

2.take them off at the knees... doesn't kill them but there not as fast then

3.blow the fuckers up!....go head,you'll feel better!

[KeithWasHere1]

brains brains..more brains!

[KeithWasHere1]

dude i hope there is a zombie Apocalypse...all bets are off then its survival of the fittest (or the best shot)..you dont like someone fucking it cap them in the head you have a great defense (he was a zombie,he was bitten he would of turned!) i fucking loved the org Dawn of the dead...living in a mall..chillin..taking all the shit you wanted walking around with shit loads of guns.target practicing all day playing zombie bingo (EYE. .44)..it was freedom..the only freedom is a zombie Apocalypse!

[MrSamas35]

My review on the movies:

Part 1/Original:Loved it!Scary and funny!The best one!

Part 2:Not as good as the origonal but still good.

Part 3:Oh this one"s messed up.

Part 4:Boring and not enough gore.

Part 5:Only the ending was good.

[Johnlindsey289]

@MrSamas35

I thought part 3 was the last good ROLD film and had a fresh aspect to it and good gore to it, plus it's from the re-animator makers

[ftolmsteen]

Zombies are such wasteful gluttons. They never finish their brains. They take a bite and then move on to another brain.

[stagneso]

it work in the movies when you shoot them in the head. but not anymore.. >:)

[ultimatesharpzilla]

DANG ZOMBIES!

[TeamPlasmaKingN]

You think this is a fuckin' youtube video? It's a way of life!

[Redcamo19]

I prefer George Romeros take upon zombies

[theagemon5]

i remember when i watched this with my friend damn it was great i love this movie its awsome! i think it was return of the living dead 2 that you see michael jackson dancing when hes a zombie right?

[TheMrkunu2002]

@theagemon5 ya mon

[theagemon5]

@TheMrkunu2002 :D

[CrimsonClutch]

For some reason, the zombie at 1:39 looks really cool. Like how it walks and stuff

[WhiskersMctabby]

I like how the zombie without lips is perfectly able to say the word 'brains'

[SteamNameWasTaken]

In the First movie when he asks the girl if she likes sex and death i watched the third one a bit later and saw a poster of a band named Sex and Death i was so fucking amazed

[Lawso45]

watched it last night seemed really short epic film.

[psovegeta]

Tarman was a freaky looking zombie. I wonder if anyone made a Tarman costume for Halloween......

[jmcginnis86]

A true cult classic.

[ErlynNicma]

Juro que sali con la pelirroja!!!!

[TheGalvan1990]

@ErlynNicma ¿Saliste con  Linnea Quigley?.....clarooo

[ErlynNicma]

@TheGalvan1990 No pero mi novia se parece mucho y en la ctitud tambien jeje

[matpeachey]

this is an incredible movie! thanks for reminding me that i need to get this on dvd, as i still have an original ex-rental copy on vhs! classic stuff!

[crabwise69]

The Surfin' Dead!

[doomdood183]

This movie was great, but i was pissed they killed the hot redhead.

[WafflezDay]

I would like to bang that dancing chick :D She probably doesn't have that nice body anymore though.

[homelesshannah50]

@WafflezDay her name's Lieanna Quigley and she probably wouldn't want you either.

[WafflezDay]

@homelesshannah50 If I dress like a punk-goth dude, then she would :]

[coolero80]

"YOU MEAN THE MOVIE LIED?' that line always makes me laugh.

[Broylestoys]

Still one of my favorites. I think I was 8 the first time I ever saw it.

[naniquinnie]

I found this movie a very pleasant surprise. Hit the nail on the zombie head with this one. Good nite

[MrDoomsday666]

@ 3:16 those are the most true quotes ever about punks/metalheads people dont get it that its a way of life not a fashion show like now.......

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

@MrDoomsday666 Yeah that didn't apply to metalheads, this was before metalheads. This was back in the hayday of Goth and punk. This movie soundtrack doesn't have any metal, it's 100% authentic punk and gothic rock with a sprinkling of synthpop. Not like alot of the crap you hear these days from tons of bands trying to sell themselves as punks or goths, when they've likely never even heard a single song of either genre.

[Johnlindsey289]

@DEATHBYFLYINGCDS

Indeed and Emos are just piss-poor Goth wannabes when Goths are the real deal

[Cazz8203]

this movie was BEYOND messed up...freaked me the hell out as a kid...especially the zombie in the basement....only zombie movie I ever really liked...thanx for posting Mr. Rolfe!!

[scoobyrds]

Ah, so this is where "BRAAIIINNNNZZZ" came from.

[shlockofgod]

"I HIT the fucking brain"

[ThisCakeIsAPie]

1:42

I loved that scene

[artschoolsuicide]

I remember seeing this when I was about five with my father and don't know what disturbed me more: the tarman, particularly when it was hiding behind the sheet, or watching Linnea dance naked with my dad casually watching in the same room.

[WyldOrbit]

Now I know why I had to leave for about 5mins when we watched this movie

[ionasionas1]

I wut like to see it

[sugarkitty121]

I could just imagine their reaction XD

".....We really fucked up, eh?"

[bakugan82000]

i have the moive

[TannerRocksUSA12]

@bakugan82000 thats your fault then troll

[HyperSonicXtreme]

BRAAAAAINS!!!!

[BIGNIG2500]

god, zombie movies from the 80s are the nastiest, most gory things that i have ever seen in my life. i saw one clip from day of the dead, which was the death of captain rhodes. that shit has all but desensitized me to violence and gore in movies. that one clip was so horrifying that, in my mind, nothing can ever be worse. and i saw it when i was ten!!

[TheJillkill]

I just did a review of this too, punk zombies are the coolest :)

[duanescot]

this by far is one of the best horror flicks of all time, not only that, it has the best soundtrack of nearly ANY movie ever made

[Xitaria]

1:42 BRAINS!!! *Boom headshot!"

[ziggy72170]

The Naked Red-Head !!!

[CerpinTaxt1983]

@ziggy72170 i use to pull to that secene when i was younger lol she was so hot

[ziggy72170]

@CerpinTaxt1983 ; """ Linnea Quigley "" is her name. And in the 80's was one"Fine" look'in lady ! Check out the movie, Night of the Demons ! Where she is Amazingly Hot !!

[CerpinTaxt1983]

@ziggy72170 i seen that one is that where she stuck the lipstick in her tit??? I pulled to that one too. But the newer version of NOTD has Diora Baird playing the the chick that stickes the ipstic in her tit. And her tits are great.

[ziggy72170]

@CerpinTaxt1983 ; Sounds like, your on top of your Game MR CerpinTaxt1983 .. (lol) Bravo !

[CerpinTaxt1983]

@ziggy72170 why thank you ziggy :)

[tonyAJ420]

I want to fuck Trash

[WafflezDay]

@tonyAJ420 You mean the red haired chick? Me too..

[slyshadic]

OK you giving telling me about it gives me the chills from the movie

[MRjamesfamous]

You've got to let me EAT YOUR BRAIN!!! Lol.

[andoc]

I saw this one just recently. I think I would have appreciated it more as a child. It's not bad and I liked it, but it can't compare to Romero's work.

[StoutNerd]

3:11 i remember laughing so hard first time i saw it, it sounds like someone bitting an apple ^^.

[TheEclipsed1234]

IT WORKED IN THE MOVIE!

[joesalinas1990]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!

[buhrrito]

This is the dopes zombie movie I've seen

[Bixler316]

That is tommy jarvis in Friday the 13th part 6

[scottieman2]

Just me or youtube seem slower to load?

[MarioMasterMan64]

@scottieman2 yeah, actually alot of my friends have been saying that youtube is slow for them too but it seems fine to me.

[scottieman2]

@MarioMasterMan64 I don't know. :P It's weird.

[Danfitz2010]

@stbays those mall scenes are from Dawn of the Dead. The sequel to Night of the Living Dead

[GamingAddict820]

I own this movie, Treasure Mart is stupid because they wanted to sell this movie for 2 bucks! This movie is worth ATLEAST 20

[theblacksheep1000]

Best zombie-punk movie ever made!

[ActiveXre]

Best zombie movie ever

[anthonyboulos]

Zombieland

[fkwk2y]

great times just chilling and watching

[BENSON018]

this is my favrite muuvie

[TheBubbypower]

1:42 damn whos fukin voice is that

[stbays]

Weird.  I thought I'd seen this but only a few shots seemed familar and I'm thinking those were reference shots from another film (those shots being of the guys in the mall).

[matmater666]

People might not know this but the song at the end was actually used in a cod black ops trailer for a GEORGE ROMERO themed zombie map featuring several horror movie stars such as Rovert Englund and Sarah Michelle Gellar

[xCypres]

@matmater666 why don't you get outta here? no one gives a shit about Black Ops

[BitterBosh]

Clu Gulager!

[HazardHighlander]

i loved this movie when i saw it on hulu. really awesome

[personEks]

The split dog was the thing that really haunted me when I first saw this as a kid... with it yelping as they were bashing it with a crutch. Great Z-flick! Almost the best as I rank 'em, but I have a soft spot for "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things".

[Skulldini]

You dont mention any of the spanish and italian zombie flicks, like 'Tombs Of the Blinde Dead or 'Zombie Two , .. . those featured zombies with the rotted look first.
